"Lang-ge, your talent is so incredible. Why not go to Spirit Hall for a test? With the strength of a Soul Grandmaster, you can get ten Gold Soul Coins a month!"

On the way to eat, Tang San quietly asked Mo Lang with curiosity.

Mo Lang glanced at Tang San without hiding anything, his gaze deep as he said, "Precisely because my talent is exceptional, I need to keep a lower profile before I've grown strong enough. A tree that stands out in the forest is sure to be toppled by the wind. This world is far more complicated than you imagine."

"..."

Listening to Mo Lang, Tang San realized that Mo Lang was far from as simple as he had imagined.

After all, how could an eight-year-old child possibly say something like that?

But just as the other party had said before, everyone had their own secrets. He only needed to remember that, if not for him, he would have long since died in that venomous snake's belly.

A life-saving debt could only be repaid with one's life.

Tang San also became more vigilant after hearing Lang-ge's words. Before he fully understood this world, he needed to arm himself as much as possible.

After eating, he would go work at that blacksmith shop and make the Tang Sect's Hidden Weapons, giving himself another means of protection.

After the meal.

When Tang San went to pay, he found that Mo Lang had already settled the bill. Just as he was about to say something, Mo Lang smacked him on the head and stopped his words with a look.

After eating her fill, Xiao Wu wanted to go shopping. Tang San said that he was going to work at the blacksmith shop, and Mo Lang naturally did not stop him. After all, he was going there to sign in as well. Before that, however, he had Tang San change back into his Hundred Treasure Outfit.

Tang San had just wanted to ask why, but upon seeing his simple school uniform, he immediately understood. He then found a corner and changed back into his original clothes.

When Xiao Wu heard that Tang San was going to work, she curiously insisted on coming along. Thus, the three of them arrived at the blacksmith shop together.

"Kids, what are you doing here? If you want to buy something, have your family come instead. It's dangerous here, so get out quickly."

As soon as the three appeared in the blacksmith shop, a booming voice rang out. A burly man with his upper body bare then walked out, looking at them with concern. This man was Shi San, the owner of the blacksmith shop.

"Hello, sir. I came to ask whether you need an apprentice here." Tang San's childish voice rang out. Though young, he was already a Soul Master, and even amid the roaring clang of steel in the blacksmith shop, every blacksmith could hear him clearly.

At his words, quite a few blacksmiths put down their work and curiously looked at the little boy, who was only five or six years old.

Blacksmithing was considered one of the lowliest professions, and it required both strength and skill. Ordinary children rarely chose this line of work as apprentices.

After Tang San explained himself, Shi San finally agreed to take him on as an apprentice in his shop.

At the same time, that familiar voice rang out in Mo Lang's mind again.

"Detected Tang San's first job. Sign-in conditions met. Would you like to sign in?"

Having prepared for this long ago, Mo Lang did not hesitate in the slightest. Filled with curiosity, he immediately selected confirm.

"Ding! Congratulations, Host, on successfully signing in. Reward: Tang San's Hundredfold Critical Soul Coins! Nine-Nine Unifying Hammer Technique!"

Tang San's Hundredfold Critical Soul Coins?!

Nine-Nine Unifying Hammer Technique?!

Seeing these two rewards, Mo Lang excitedly opened the system descriptions.

Tang San's Hundredfold Critical Soul Coins: The Host can obtain one hundred times the Soul Coin income from all of Tang San's sources of income! Nine-Nine Unifying Hammer Technique: The most supreme hammer technique, without equal. When nine hammer strikes unite as one, a divine artifact is forged! (Proficiency: 0/10.)

!!!

After reading the two descriptions, Mo Lang could no longer remain calm!

This was fucking taking freeloading off Tang San all the way to the end!

Freeloading from sign-ins was one thing, but now he could freeload off all of Tang San's income at a hundredfold rate!

This was simply...

Too damn awesome!

One had to know that the Soul Coins Tang San would later earn by partnering with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to sell Hidden Weapons amounted to five million Soul Coins!

With his hundredfold freeloading, his net worth would instantly reach five hundred million!

Mo Lang seemed to see endless waves of Soul Coins beckoning to him.

Even if Tang San currently earned only one silver coin a month at the blacksmith shop, with his hundredfold bonus, he could still receive ten Gold Soul Coins!

Not to mention that Tang San also received one Gold Soul Coin in monthly subsidies from Spirit Hall. With the hundredfold critical effect, he could freeload 110 Gold Soul Coins a month without doing anything at all!

That meant he would not have to worry about earning Soul Coins anymore. He could just freeload off Tang San.

At the same time, he could improve Old Jack's family's life.

As for the Nine-Nine Unifying Hammer Technique, it was even more incredible!

When nine hammer strikes united as one, a divine artifact was forged!

This was a divine artifact!

In the first Douluo Continent work, only the power of four super divine artifacts had appeared in total.

Among them were the first-rank god Sea God's super divine artifact, the Sea God Trident; the Supreme God's super divine artifact, the Asura Sword; the first-rank god Angel God's Sun Saint Sword; and the first-rank god Rakshasa God's Rakshasa Scythe.

That alone showed how precious divine artifacts were.

Even the Ruyi Golden Cudgel was merely a god-tier weapon. Besides, once one learned the Nine-Nine Unifying Hammer Technique, who would ever complain about having too many divine artifacts?

"System, what does that proficiency mean?"

Mo Lang noticed the parentheses after the Nine-Nine Unifying Hammer Technique, which contained a proficiency value, and could not help asking the system.

"When the Host is able to forge ten god-tier weapons, the Nine-Nine Unifying Hammer Technique will automatically level up, allowing the forging of super divine artifacts!"

The system explained.

"So that's how it is."

Mo Lang understood. In Douluo Continent, divine artifacts were also divided into ordinary divine artifacts and super divine artifacts. For example, Qian Renxue's Sun Saint Sword was merely a divine artifact, while the Asura Sword was a super divine artifact. Their power was worlds apart.

The Asura Sword was even publicly recognized as Douluo's number one super divine artifact!

"By the looks of it, I should also familiarize myself with the Nine-Nine Unifying Hammer Technique at this blacksmith shop and lay the foundation for forging divine artifacts in the future." After thinking it over, Mo Lang had already made his plans.

His current strength was certainly enough in Notting City, but across the entire Douluo Continent, he was at the absolute bottom.

Fortunately, he still had several years to develop. He could cultivate while also raising his proficiency in the Nine-Nine Unifying Hammer Technique.

"Th-this... could this be the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer? The strongest continuous forging technique in the art of forging?" Shi San asked Tang San in shock, staring at the sweat on his forehead.

"Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer? What is that?" Tang San asked in confusion.

Shi San then explained the might of the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer Technique. Hearing this, Tang San recalled the image of his dispirited father. Could it be that his father was an outstanding blacksmith?

"Alright, your pay will be the same as everyone else's now: one silver coin a month. If business is good, the bonus will be calculated separately." Shi San was clearly delighted. He had not expected to pick up such a treasure.

"Wait, um... I want to become an apprentice too."

At that moment, Mo Lang could not help but interject.
